Daily Deviation

Given 2010-12-21
twisted fashion 10 by ~nortyrobber The harsh lighting contrasts beautifully with the luxurious texture of the fur, and the bright splash of red in the stockings just completes the image. ( Featured by ^Nyx-Valentine )

Wow. I've seen a couple people put their opinions up here and get bashed merely because they don't agree with the majority. If someone doesn't like it, that's fine and they should be allowed to voice their opinions like everyone else can.
Don't respond with the typical 'You wouldn't be complaining if it was a woman', because honestly, you don't know that. I would be saying the same thing whether the model is a man or a woman (and I have). I think it's funny how people are so quick to assume that because someone doesn't like a picture like this, it must be because of the gender or they're suppressing their gay thoughts and this brought them up. People are allowed to dislike something, right? Don't assume you can read their minds and know exactly WHY they don't like it.
Anyway, I don't care for this picture, though I have no problem with nudity. It's the stance and lighting that I don't like, not to mention I hate the look of fur on a jacket or men (or women, for that matter) wearing fishnets. It's just not pleasing to my eyes.

I love artistic nudity!!

(But I'm only 14, and this being in my faves would spark many a question...)

the negative comments on this is so annoying. If this was a female subject, there wouldn't be such an uproar.

The MALE body is BEAUTIFUL TOO, YOU GUYS. grow up.

Really lovely model, and photo :)

There's actually a lot of people causing an uproar about naked female pictures too. It's not just the guys.

Hi there, I am the founder of a group called TheMaleSoul (that promotes and showcases male photography). We are having a similar debate because of our recent Male Nude Photography article [link] After getting "rejections" to this beautiful exhibition of quality and beautiful male photography I decided to post this group blog [link] . Many people feel just as strongly as you do about the bias on DA against Male nudity and even male photography as is evident in the very small fraction of DD's given to male photography compared with female.

This group journal [link] states my intent to collect data and research to put to the DA mods/hierarchy to try and make a change. If you would like to give your thoughts/opinions on this subject, I would value your input. Please do so under this blog here [link] :heart: Thanks for your support :heart:

Stop with the damn spamming. It's annoying and if the only way to get you to stop is to report you then so be it.

I'm a couple of days late to this party. And oh Jesus, the comments on this piece. I can almost hear the agonizing thought process of some of the more insecure guys posting on this:
It's a... wait, is that a penis? LIKE A REAL NAKED PENIS?
NOOOOO MY MASCULINITY!
MUST. CONFIRM. THAT. I'M NOT GAY!

Ah! So that explains why this one-year old comment got dug up :lol:

I think it's absolutely ridiculous how men (and to a lesser extent, women it seems) react when they see a naked man vs. a naked woman. It's one thing if male nudity just isn't your cup of tea, I get that, each to their own and all that, but if you actually get upset if you see a naked dude then maybe that points to something more than a difference in taste*.

I'll go check out the discussion. Although I have to say I don't entirely agree on the "DeviantART is biased"-point. I remember reading a news article where this point, this accusation of dA being homophobic was adressed, and the answer was that it was simply a matter of quantity. There are simply much more female nudes (or female nudes being suggested for DD's) than there are male ones.
Having said that though, I'll go suggest some DD's while I'm at it, and see how they end up.

*Which isn't saying that you're gay and supressing your gay feelings, but rather to say that you have some insecurity issues.
